Yeah. McArdle’s Been off of My Grudge List for a While.
September 2, 2009
Moe just bounced her off of his, because of the Bloggingheads clip below. I’ve taken her off because of her writing about healthcare. (And, you know: just for being Megan: cool-headed, and ruthlessly honest.)
The whole thing is worth watching, actually, but you need to divide it up into 2-3 listenings, since it’s 80 minutes long.
UPDATE: AllahP and Althouse are running an alternate clip, in which Michelle Goldberg explains the difference between her desire that Dick Cheney drop dead, and threatening any action that might hasten “that blessed day.”
Jim Lindgren is struck by Michelle Goldberg’s passion. It’s hateful and casual, as she expresses the exquisite difference between the way lefties wanted Cheney dead and some righties — purportedly — actually want to kill Obama.
Hmm. Did anyone really threaten to kill Obama? It’s a federal crime, and isn’t it vigorously investigated? If people are doing this, why are we not seeing arrests?
Anyway, comparative hatred is a strange game, isn’t it? Let’s be rational and analytical, mm’kay?
Ann, the people who are planning to kill Barack Obama are inside of Michelle Goldberg’s head, so that makes them more difficult to catch: they are itty-bitty little people. Teeny-tiny. And racially motivated.

I watched 10 or 15 minutes of this a couple days ago. I don’t know who she is debating but the other woman looks perpetually gobsmacked. The comments at the site though were almost completely against McArdle.

No right thinking person would want to make a Martyr of our toy President.

In addition to making a martyr, they’d also elevate Joltin’ Joe Biden to the presidency. Think about that for a while, and weep.
